- Some system features and commands will not behave as expected - If an error is reported by the Solaris Fault Management Architecture (FMA) the message will contain an incorrect URL.- Sun Management Center(SunMC) fails to run on the system - A local or remote user may be able to log in as root to the eXtended System Control Facility Unit (XSCFU), also known as the Service Processor.

2. Contributing Factors

This issue can occur on the following platforms:

SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers with serial numbers for the
weeks of 38 through 49 of 2008

The serial number can be used
to determine the affected weeks. To obtain the system serial number,
use the "showhardconf" command at the XSCF prompt:

PP is a factory code M is a model codeYY is the last two digits of the yearWW is the week of the calendar year SSS is a hexidecimal or alphanumeric sequence number

In the example above, serial number BCF084604T indicates it is
from week 46 of 2008.

Symptoms

If the described issue occurs, the OBP Banner or Browser User Interface (BUI) may display a non-Sun brand.

Another symptom can be seen when typing the keyboard sequence
<tab><tab> at the XSCF prompt with the current user in
"Normal" mode. This sequence will display a list of all available
commands. If the command "enablecodboard" is present in the list, the
described issue has been experienced.
